The Switch onine service lets you play online games, save on clouds, and play NES and SNES games. I didn't get it at first because playing Smash online didn't draw me in enough to pay 20 bucks for. However, once Super Mario Maker 2 came out, they had a version you could get where the subscription was 10 bucks off. So I got that and the subscription for just ten bucks. Not bad. I think you can get a hard copy of Tetris 99 with that same discount as well.
You don't have to pay extra for NES and SNES games. You just pull up the program and play whatever games you want from a menu that's like an online version of the NES and SNES Minis. It's pretty neat except you always have to be online to play them. That's my only gripe.
I would say that the online service isn't bad for only ten bucks, but half the time I play a round of Tetris 99, I get kicked out. Come on, Nintendo, it's just Tetris, it shouldn't be that hard. I bet my Tetris 99 online ranking would be MUCH higher if it worked better. Also I heard most other online games are laggy as well. So yeah, lots of room for improvement. I definitely wouldn't pay more than ten bucks for this.
